690: Chapter 690 Following the Example, Encountering Xuan Chen on the Road to the Underworld
Qin Mian's face was extremely gloomy. He clenched his palm but did not strike, giving Hun Tiandi a deep look.
"I hope you consider carefully before leaving!" he said coldly.
"Yes!" The Qin Family disciples behind him responded respectfully, then followed Qin Mian and left.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Shui Xing bowed respectfully. If Hun Tiandi hadn't arrived, the consequences would have been unpredictable.
"No need for formalities. Continue the outward expansion. The era of great chaos is coming; we must have a Foundation!" Hun Tiandi said indifferently.
"Yes!" Shui Xing immediately responded.
Hun Tiandi flicked his sleeve and entered the main tent, preparing for the upcoming battle.
Five days later, Gu He, Hun Xiutian, Venerable Huanglong, and the others finally arrived.
They headed towards the location of Avici Hell!
In the Yang World, in a quiet valley, sat a man with white hair and white clothes. He was handsome and elegant, looking like an immortal in white.
The Palace Master of the Creation Heavenly Palace, Xuan Chen.
Suddenly, he opened his eyes. A sharp light like heavenly swords shot out from his gaze, and his silver pupils were filled with surging ferocity.
Hun Tiandi, Gu He, Hun Xiutian, and Venerable Huanglong, the four of them, sped towards the Avici Hell in the Yin World. This journey took half a year.
They only stopped a few times along the way.
After flying for half a year, they finally arrived outside Avici Hell.
Outside Avici Hell, the sky was dim and gloomy, making it extremely difficult to judge the sunlight. The Yin Qi was very dense, and one could often see mindless ghosts wandering around.
They moved towards Avici Hell, acting entirely on instinct.
There were even countless corpses. Hun Tiandi stood in mid-air, looking calmly into the distance.
They found a city and walked straight in. The cities in the Yin World were very eerie, containing people, ghosts, and skeletons.
Many shops in the city were closed.
"Magic Leopard Stones! The price of Magic Leopard Stones has skyrocketed this time!" A sudden cry of surprise came from the distance.
On the originally sparse streets, a large number of undead and Living Beings surged out, running towards the shops.
"Your Majesty, have these beings gone mad?" Venerable Huanglong asked in confusion.
"Let's go!" Hun Tiandi said, walking towards a restaurant. The empty restaurant had no customers, only a bored waiter.
The shopkeeper had a worried face, but the waiter's eyes sharpened as he perked up, smiling: "You four, please come inside!"
Not just the waiter, but the shopkeeper's eyes also shone, as if saying they finally had business.
"Gentlemen, what would you like to eat?" the shopkeeper asked with a smile.
"Bring out the best you have!" Venerable Huanglong said in a booming voice.
"Understood, coming right up!" The shopkeeper's eyes lit up with excitement; he had finally waited for some big customers.
"Shopkeeper, what are those people outside fighting over?" Hun Tiandi asked.
"Sigh, so you noticed too. This starts with the grievance between the Emperor of our dynasty and the Qin Family."
"The Great Wu Heavenly Dynasty? Emperor Wan Zhou competed with the Qin Family and suffered a crushing defeat. However, the Emperor had foresight and sent the Crown Prince ahead of time to establish an imperial dynasty!"
"You're saying this imperial dynasty belongs to Wan Zhou?"
Hearing Hun Tiandi call Wan Zhou by his name, the shopkeeper frowned slightly, but seeing the four men's luxurious clothes, he didn't say anything.
"The Qin Family sent many experts to destroy the Great Wu Heavenly Dynasty. The Emperor couldn't swallow his anger and invited some experts from the Blood River Holy Land to deal with the Qin Family!" the shopkeeper said helplessly.
"People from the Blood River Holy Land have come?" Hun Tiandi asked, surprised.
"Yes. Legend has it that the experts from the Blood River Holy Land and the Emperor descended upon the Qin Family but returned empty-handed. The Emperor decided to first take control of the imperial dynasty ruled by the Qin Family, destroy its Luck, and exhaust the Qin Family's strength!"
The shopkeeper spoke in a low voice.
"What about the Qin Family?"
"The Qin Family didn't send any experts. They left Young Lord Qin Mian in charge of the dynastic war, as if they were tempering the Qin Family's Young Lord!"
"Indeed, Young Lord Qin Mian's command talent is astonishing, but the Emperor has also managed a Heavenly Dynasty and is very experienced. Currently, they are in a stalemate!" the shopkeeper said helplessly.
"What's going on in the city?"
"Sigh, I don't know when it started, but the prices of some things have been soaring. A common item will suddenly jump dozens of times in price, making some people rich!"
"Then a couple of days later, the price drops drastically, leaving people with nothing!"
The shopkeeper smiled bitterly.
"Hmm?" Hun Tiandi frowned slightly upon hearing this. Why did this operation seem so familiar?
"Your Majesty, isn't this what you used to play with? This is just following the pattern!" Hun Xiutian said in surprise.
Used to play with? Following the pattern? The shopkeeper looked at Hun Xiutian with a strange expression.
He hadn't expected that someone would implement the Sky-Collapse Plan of those years in the Yin World, using a Commercial War to destroy a Heavenly Dynasty. Wan Zhou probably hadn't discovered the terror within it yet.
Soon, the delicious food was served, and everyone ate and drank.
They then left the restaurant.
Three days later, Hun Tiandi and his group appeared outside Abi Hell. Yin Qi permeated the air, and countless Phantom Spirits were dancing around.
Nether Crows shrieked hoarsely. As they approached Avici Hell, they seemed to be interfered with by a massive, eerie power and couldn't get close.
Upon arrival, a sense of gloom arose in their hearts. Before them was like the massive, bloody maw of a Demonic Beast, leading into Avici Hell.
During the flight, they were shrouded by a cold power, as if under a Restriction.
"Yellow Spring Road?" Hun Tiandi said in a low voice.
"Once in the Cangtian Holy Land, that Yellow Spring Road trapped the Old Woman Bodhisattva. It emitted a faint yellow light, with evil ghosts climbing it in endless numbers!"
"Your Majesty, what is the use of that Yellow Spring Road?" Hun Xiutian asked.
"After a person dies, one percent becomes a ghost and enters the Yin World directly, but they become weak. One in a hundred thousand passes through the Yellow Spring Road, which doesn't consume Soul power!"
"They even receive the blessing of the Yellow Spring Road and gain a water-attribute talent!" Hun Tiandi said indifferently.
These were all things Mr. Corpse Soul had told him.
"According to Mr. Corpse Soul, the Yellow Spring Road of every Lower Plane is different. The Yellow Spring Road of this Lower Plane, the Fighting Qi Continent, can traverse between the Yin and Yang worlds!"
"Therefore, people from the Major Thousand Worlds who want to enter the Yang World find the most suitable way is to first enter the Yin World, then walk the Yellow Spring Road in reverse to reach the Yang World!"
Hun Tiandi said indifferently.
"Oh? Your Majesty, is it that people from the Major Thousand Worlds cannot enter the Yang World from other Lower Planes?" Gu He asked hesitantly.
Since joining the Dazheng Empire, what he had seen and heard surpassed everything before.
"Correct!" Hun Tiandi nodded.
Whoosh...
Suddenly, from among the infinite evil ghosts below, a blue light shot towards the four of them. Hun Xiutian frowned slightly: "Hmph!"
Like a muffled clap of thunder, the blue light exploded and scattered into dots.
Hun Tiandi looked over; it was an ugly Ghost King holding a trident. The sneak attack of blue light just now had come from him.
"Seeking death!" Hun Xiutian pressed down with one hand, and the Ghost King exploded on impact.
"Let's go to the Yellow Spring Road first!" Hun Tiandi pondered for a moment, his gaze fixed on the Yellow Spring Road.
Everyone flew towards it, and seven days later, they stopped.
Across an endless distance, Hun Tiandi and the others saw the Yellow Spring Road—a yellow pillar connecting heaven and earth. The pillar was like a rolling river, washing down from the sky in all directions.
Its top reached the sky, and its bottom connected to the earth.
Below was a massive Yellow Spring Sea, shimmering with a faint yellow light as waves surged.
The Yellow Springs... the yellow pillar of light rolling like a river was the Yellow Spring Road.
Its end was invisible. Countless ghosts rushed into the Yellow Spring Sea, swimming incessantly. It was extremely creepy.
"Eh? Your Majesty, there are people over there?" Hun Xiutian said in surprise.
"Could it be people from the Qin Family?" Gu He asked with a frown.
Not likely. Everyone flew over. Before them was a ten-thousand-foot-high mountain peak. At the top was a huge platform, and sitting cross-legged was a man with white hair and white clothes.
His eyes were slightly closed, his hands formed a lotus Seal, resting on his knees.
"Xuan Chen?" Hun Tiandi said in surprise.
Xuan Chen? The famous Palace Master of the Creation Heavenly Palace, Xuan Chen. Why was he here? Wasn't he in the Yang World?
Why would he come to the Yin World? Who was he waiting for?
At this moment, Xuan Chen suddenly opened his eyes. A pair of silver eyes looked at Hun Tiandi, and a flash of surprise appeared deep in his gaze.
"Hun Tiandi?" Xuan Chen said in surprise, frowning slightly.
Why was he here? Why was he in the Yin World?
In the past, he had met Xuan Chen once. After overcoming the emotional trial in his heart, Xuan Chen had advanced to the rank of Dou Sheng and officially taken over the position of Palace Master of the Creation Heavenly Palace.
"Why are you in the Yin World?" Hun Tiandi asked, surprised.
Xuan Chen stared at Hun Tiandi, his eyes flashing with sharp light. He said indifferently: "Aren't you here as well?"
Hun Tiandi looked at Xuan Chen curiously, and Xuan Chen looked back at him. Both were curious about how the other had entered the Yin World.
But since this involved their own secrets, neither answered.
"Why are you sitting here? The Heavenly Fiend Demon Emperor who was once suppressed under the Formation Seal? Could it be that this..." Hun Tiandi asked.
"No!" Xuan Chen took a deep breath, his expression solemn.
"Are more people from the Major Thousand Worlds coming?" Xuan Chen said softly.
"Hmm?"
"Not long ago, one already came down, trying to walk the Yellow Spring Road in reverse to enter the Yang World, but I killed him!"
"But there should be more!" Xuan Chen said indifferently.
"What? Killed?" Hearing this, Hun Tiandi's pupils shrank, showing a look of shock.
